Filter by:This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study to investigate the efficacy of pemziviptadil (PB1046) by improving the clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients at high risk for rapid clinical deterioration, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and death. The study will enroll approximately 210 hospitalized COVID-19 patients who require urgent decision-making and treatment at approximately 20 centers in the United States.
The main objective is to evaluate the pronostic value of endothelial dysfonction in acute heart failure on a combined criteria associating cardiovascular mortality, nex hospitalisation for decompensated heart failure, cardiac graft or ventricular assistance 2 month and 1 year before acute heart failure.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether the 50cc TAH-t can safely support, and provide probable benefit to, transplant-eligible pediatric patients (aged 10 - 18 years) and can safely and effectively support transplant-eligible adult patients (aged 19 - 75 years) at imminent risk of death from biventricular failure without experiencing permanent disabling, stroke-related deficits. The study will be conducted as a three-arm trial of the 50cc temporary Total Artificial Heart (TAH-t) as a bridge to transplant: - The Primary Pediatric Arm of the trial will evaluate the safety and probable benefit of the 50cc TAH-t for transplant-eligible patients 10 through 18 years of age. - The Primary Adult Arm of the trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the 50cc TAH-t for transplant-eligible patients 19 through 75 years of age. - The Secondary Arm will capture pediatric and adult subjects who did not meet enrollment criteria for a Primary Arm, but meet the less restrictive Secondary Arm enrollment criteria, in order to further characterize the use of the device.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ReliantHeart HeartAssist 5® VAD System in patients listed for heart transplantation and at risk of death from refractory end-stage heart failure.
This research study is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate if taking diuretics (medications that increase urine production and help with fluid removal from the body) in a standardized fashion (using a guideline for adjusting doses based on measured urine output) could improve health outcomes in patients with cardiorenal failure or cardiorenal syndrome (combined heart and kidney failure) with edema (too much fluid in their arms, legs, and/or lungs). Under usual care, these patients are treated with diuretics and other medications in increasing doses, but not necessarily to maintain a specific amount of urine output per day. Current heart failure (HF) treatment guidelines do not provide any standard protocol, or guideline, for adjusting diuretic doses. At the point when kidney function worsens to the degree that the kidneys are no longer able to respond to the medications used to remove fluid, either ultrafiltration (UF) or dialysis (also called hemodialysis [HD]) is typically started in order to remove fluid. In both UF and dialysis, excess fluid is removed from the body by using a machine. In dialysis, both waste products and fluid are removed and electrolyte abnormalities are corrected. In UF, only fluid is removed. Both procedures use the same machine. This study will test whether a Protocolized Diuretic Strategy (ProDiuS), a plan for adjusting diuretic doses based on measured urine output, will improve clinical care for cardiorenal syndrome. Such a plan for adjusting diuretic doses is needed to improve symptoms, decrease the length of hospital stays and rehospitalization rates, and improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in cardiorenal syndrome patients.
The purpose of the research is to determine if patients have fewer Heart Failure (HF) events after receiving Aquapheresis (AQ) therapy compared to intravenous (IV) diuretics up to 90 days of discharge from the hospital. Heart Failure events are defined as returning to the hospital, clinic or emergency department (ED) for treatment of HF symptoms.
